Abstract

ABSTRACT Sepsis is controlled by endogenous glucocorticoids (GCs). Previous studies provided evidence that crosstalk of the monomeric GC receptor (GR) with proinflammatory transcription factors is the crucial mechanism underlying the suppressive GC effect. Here we demonstrate that mice with a dimerization‐deficient GR (GR dim ) are highly susceptible to sepsis in 2 different models, namely cecal ligation and puncture and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced septic shock. TNF‐α is normally regulated in these mice, but down‐regulation of IL‐6 and IL‐1β is diminished. LPS‐treated macrophages derived from GR dim mice are largely resistant to GC actions in vitro in terms of morphology, surface marker expression, and gene expression. Treatment with recombinant IL‐1 receptor antagonist improved survival of GR dim mice and mice lacking the GR in macrophages (GR LysMCre ) mice. This suggests that regulation of IL‐1β in macrophages by GCs is pivotal to control sepsis.—Kleiman, A., Hübner, S., Rodriguez Parkitna, J. M., Neumann, A., Hofer, S., Weigand, M.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
